About this work

This painting is made of three big, flat colors stacked vertically. On the left is a light gray with quick black lines and small yellow shapes. The middle is a smooth green rectangle. On the right is a bright yellow band with faint scribbles. The brushstrokes on the gray side look loose and almost like doodles. The green and yellow sections are solid, with no details inside.
